Chapter 99

In the southern suburbs of Donghai City, in a hilly area, a mountain slightly higher than the surrounding hills stands out, though it can hardly be called a high mountain. It is about 200 meters above sea level and is known as Nanshan.

A winding road runs around the foot of the mountain, with vehicles coming and going, heading in unknown directions.

A fork in the road leads up the mountain, where the summit is dotted with twinkling lights. At the top stands an ancient building called Fenglin Pavilion, which the Shengqing Group has transformed into a leisure resort, the Fenglin Pavilion Leisure Resort.

Standing at the summit and looking into the distance, one can see Donghai City enveloped in a halo of light under the night sky, its brilliance piercing the heavens. The place offers a serene feeling of transcending the mundane and gazing at the stars, making it a pleasant spot for relaxation and leisure in the area.

Tonight, the Fenglin Pavilion Leisure Resort has turned away guests, so it is particularly quiet.

At the edge of the mountain, a table is set up, facing the bustling city in the distance. Zheng Longqing and San Qiang sit facing each other, while Luo Qili, dressed in a tight black leather outfit like a catwoman, stands at the edge of the mountain, taking a call.

After hanging up and walking back, she sneered at Zheng Longqing, "It's been investigated. Qiao Antian and his wife have already flown to Paris. Their timing for leaving the country is too coincidental. Don't you still doubt that Qiao Yun is planning to make a move against us?"

San Qiang, with a blank expression, glanced at Zheng Longqing, who was smoking one cigarette after another, the ashtray on the table filled with cigarette butts, a situation he had never seen before.

Zheng Longqing extinguished the cigarette butt in the ashtray and said indifferently, "What about Qiao Yun? Is she still wandering around the city?"

"Probably because she has sensed our plans and knows we won't dare to act openly in the city, she is deliberately wandering around. I don't think she will come. We should make other plans!" Luo Qili said with a mocking tone.

In fact, as soon as Luo Qili suspected that Qiao Yun might target the Qinglong Gang, she immediately sent people to stake out the villa on the hill. When Qiao Yun's convoy left, they followed it, but ended up just driving around in circles.

Just as Zheng Longqing's expression darkened, Luo Qili's phone rang. She listened for a while, then hung up, her face turning grim.

Zheng Longqing and San Qiang both stared at her, having heard the content of the call. The person tailing Qiao Yun reported that she was heading to the Fenglin Pavilion.

"It seems your judgment was off," Zheng Longqing said, relaxing his furrowed brow.

Luo Qili felt a sense of being slapped in the face and gritted her teeth, "Driving around in circles for no reason, there must be something fishy!"

"She's right, there is something wrong," San Qiang said, standing up. He picked up a black rectangular leather case, slung it over his shoulder, and walked resolutely into the pavilion, clearly preparing for something.

Not long after, the walkie-talkie on Luo Qili's waist crackled: "They're here, the convoy is heading up the mountain."

On the mountain road, Lin Zixian, gripping the steering wheel, glanced out the car window and slightly tilted his head, speaking coldly into a pin on his shirt, "Move!"

Qiao Yun, in the back seat, her eyes flickering, didn't know who he was talking to.

"Move!"

Such a familiar word, a familiar phrase, long absent, hearing it made one feel a surge of excitement.

Yuan Gang, hiding in the dense forest, grinned, thinking he would never hear Caesar say this again. But tonight, he could relive the old days with Caesar, a feeling that was too good.

Because he hadn't done such an exciting thing in a long time, Yuan Gang was a bit excited. He pressed a small device in his ear and whispered, "Understood!"

He was dressed like a ninja, but with a lot of extra gear. A dagger was attached to his thigh, a pistol on his waist, two grenades and two smoke bombs, a rifle on his back, and a quiver of arrows.

He adjusted the monocular infrared thermal imaging device on his head to his right eye, and two orange figures hiding in the bushes appeared in his field of vision. He raised his homemade nine-shot crossbow, tightened the quiver on his back, and quietly approached the two figures.

In fact, he had come early to scout the area. When he arrived, he found that there were people lying in wait, so he immediately reported it to Lin Zixian using a mini-transmitter.

Lin Zixian had chosen him because he knew that Yuan Gang was enthusiastic about modifying various things, so he had all sorts of equipment and devices, and could communicate seamlessly with familiar people.

Since it was confirmed that Zheng Longqing had people lying in wait, Lin Zixian knew that today would not end well. He wasn't a saint and couldn't wait for the final confrontation. He needed to limit the opponent's actions first and create favorable conditions for himself.

On the winding road below, as a large truck roared past, two faint whistling sounds were heard. The nine-shot crossbow fired two arrows, which embedded themselves in the necks of the two orange figures. They didn't even have time to scream before they fell to the ground, twitching weakly.

Blood gushed from the wounds, the triangular arrows designed with grooves to prevent the wounds from healing. If the arrows weren't removed, the victims would bleed to death even if they weren't hit in vital areas. After Yuan Gang's careful modifications, the crossbow made very little noise, making it a terrifying weapon for assassination.

After eliminating the two closest to the road, Yuan Gang climbed up the mountain road in the dark, walking openly with his weapons. Whenever he saw someone lying in wait in the infrared thermal imaging device, he would approach them with his crossbow.

He wasn't worried about Lin Zixian's safety; he knew Lin Zixian's skills. In such a situation, if Lin Zixian wanted to escape, it would be no problem. But bringing a woman with no experience in such matters was a huge burden. After all, this wasn't the age of cold weapons, and Lin Zixian's advantages were greatly limited.

So he had to clear all the obstacles for a safe descent before the situation became urgent, ensuring that the woman could escape safely. Although Lin Zixian hadn't emphasized it, Yuan Gang knew what the woman meant to him. She was a wound in Lin Zixian's heart that would never heal.

Because this woman looked so much like the Queen Bee, as if they were carved from the same mold. The Emperor and the Queen, a pair of lovebirds, but the tragic event turned Caesar into a lone wanderer, traveling through mountains and rivers, unable to return to his former life.

If it weren't for the Queen Bee's sacrifice, Caesar would have been killed. Instead, she became the one to take the bullets, her body covered in blood. The shock among the International Freemen was immense when they learned that the Queen Bee had died.

Yuan Gang, who was present during that tragic event, saw the usually unemotional Caesar holding the Queen Bee's lifeless body, kneeling and crying his heart out. A grown man, sobbing uncontrollably, tears streaming down his face, a sight that was truly terrifying. Under the moonlight, it was like a wolf king mourning the loss of his mate.

Afterward, Caesar launched a疯狂的报复，将那个皇室上上下下的人杀得片甲不留，进行了一场惨绝人寰的血屠。

Yuan Gang came to this place and saw地形后，觉得没必要冒这个险，明知带着一个女人对自己不利还要硬来不是明智之举，但他知道如果那个女人坚持的话，林子闲只怕是无法拒绝。也许他能拒绝任何人，但无法拒绝那个像蜂后的女人，实在是无力拒绝，否则堂堂凯撒大帝怎么可能如此委屈自己，做人家的司机兼保镖……

车队在山庄内停下后，林子闲和乔韵双双下车，前者迅速扫视四周，整个山庄幽静，似乎都看不到什么客人。

洪涛下车后，迅速钻进防弹车驾驶位做准备，这是林子闲事先要求的。

郑龙青就站在不远处，看着夜风中长发飘飘，身穿黑白大花纹长裙，脚蹬运动鞋的乔韵，目光中闪过惊艳，一丝难以察觉的苦楚也随之闪过。

“乔韵！”郑龙青笑着迎了过来，他身后跟着寸步不离的罗绮丽。

林子闲点了一根烟，慢慢晃到乔韵前面，主动伸手道：“郑总，好久不见！”有点喧宾夺主的味道。

郑龙青无语，谁跟你好久不见，你最好有多远死多远，一点做司机和保镖的觉悟都没有。

当然，郑龙青一向风度翩翩，哪能和林子闲这无赖一般计较，在美女面前未免有失风度，心里的恶心话自然是不会当面说出来。

保持风度，勉强伸出手来握了握，笑道：“林兄，也来了。”

本想客气一下就松手，谁知对方的手却像老虎钳一样钳住他的手不放，郑龙青脸色微变，林子闲却在那捏着他的手东张西望，好像忘记了在和他握手。

“林兄在看什么？”郑龙青保持微笑问道，不知道的人还以为两人关系匪浅，握住了手就不想分开。

“哦！没什么，只是有点手痒了，想看看郑总这里有没有什么好车给我砸。”林子闲厚颜无耻道，两眼似笑非笑地盯向了罗绮丽。

说实话，他现在就想趁机把郑龙青给宰了，绕来绕去最终回到原点实在没什么意思，但又要顾及乔韵的想法，加上还要等袁刚准备工作完成后的通知，慢慢找碴子磨一下，给袁刚多争取点时间。配合默契的人，不会逼得搭档手忙脚乱……

After the convoy stopped at the resort, Lin Zixian and Qiao Yun both got out of the car. Lin Zixian quickly scanned the surroundings, noting the quiet and seemingly empty resort.

Hong Tao got out of the car and quickly entered the bulletproof car to prepare, as Lin Zixian had requested beforehand.

Zheng Longqing stood nearby, watching Qiao Yun, who was dressed in a black and white floral long dress and wearing sneakers, her long hair fluttering in the night breeze. His eyes flashed with admiration, followed by a barely noticeable trace of pain.

"Qiao Yun!" Zheng Longqing greeted her with a smile, followed closely by Luo Qili.

Lin Zixian lit a cigarette and slowly approached Qiao Yun, extending his hand and saying, "Mr. Zheng, it's been a long time!" in a somewhat overbearing manner.

Zheng Longqing was speechless. "Who says it's been a long time? You'd better stay as far away as possible. You have no sense of duty as a driver and bodyguard."

Of course, Zheng Longqing, always the gentleman, couldn't afford to be as petty as Lin Zixian, especially in front of a lady. He wouldn't say anything nasty out loud.

Maintaining his composure, he reluctantly extended his hand and shook it, smiling, "Mr. Lin, you're here too."

He intended to let go after a polite exchange, but Lin Zixian's grip was like a vice, and Zheng Longqing's expression changed. Lin Zixian, still holding his hand, looked around as if he had forgotten they were shaking hands.

"What are you looking at, Mr. Lin?" Zheng Longqing asked, maintaining his smile. To an outsider, it might seem like they were old friends who didn't want to let go.

"Oh, nothing. I just feel a bit itchy and want to see if Mr. Zheng has any good cars for me to smash," Lin Zixian said shamelessly, his eyes half-smiling, half-staring at Luo Qili.

To be honest, he wanted to take the opportunity to get rid of Zheng Longqing. All the circling and returning to the starting point was pointless, but he had to consider Qiao Yun's feelings and wait for Yuan Gang's signal that he was ready. He needed to create some friction to buy more time for Yuan Gang. A well-coordinated team wouldn't put their partner in a bind...
